See (Info-goto-node "(standards)Standard Targets"), in particular, ,---- | `install' | Compile the program and copy the executables, libraries, and so on | to the file names where they should reside for actual use. If | there is a simple test to verify that a program is properly | installed, this target should run that test. `---- "Compile the program and copy..." suggests to me that the 'install' target should build anything first, if required. BW> you should add a target like `install-only' if you make this BW> change I have no objection to having a 'install-only' target, but interestingly, that info node I mentioned above doesn't say anything about 'install' targets that just install and don't build. BTW, do you want "install-only" or "just-install"? Maybe I should just pick one as the real target and make the other an alias to it? -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: 10D5C9C5>---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |------------------------------------&lt;youngs(a)xemacs.org&gt;---|
